for #69 off to the desert kingdoms, surely there be loot.....

United Arab Emirates
RAC #105 v's #37
899 crunchers ( 84 active ) v's 2 pirates

Easy pickings.... onwards.

Someone in UAE walked the plank. Only 5M in it now. Day or so and we're playing in the sandpit.

Down to 2.6M now, and as Collatz seem to be validating units it may be ours very soon

~1.2 million and counting...... :pirate:

500 K, I can smell the booty

Seems that the plank walker has returned compounded by collatz issues and the need to kick some butt in milkyway....so a slight reprieve. Once through these headwinds the pirate fleet will prevail

We're only 3.5 million off now, but the headwinds of Milkyway mean the voyage will be a little longer but the number of units to get there will make the booty a little sweeter....

They would be slightly easier to catch if they'd stop moving

But that would ruin the fun when we have them at the point of a cutlass.....and before Mr PP corrects my historical accuracy, I am aware that a cutlass was primarily a slashing sword. Bloody scary things too, having seen one in real life ( not pointed at me I add, though the scene from Indiana Jones with the swords then the Webley comes to mind and the fact that a Browning M1911 is far more effective )

... In this case I think I would agree with you. Holding someone to ransom at the sharp end of a blunt instrument would be quite a terrifying experience, at least, for someone. It speaks volumes for the mental stability of the holder in question... good piratical move I'd say!

Only 12k to go.....land ahoy, break out the swag bags

I'm not sure I want to say this til someone had verified the numbers but......
I think we've done it :blob:
Onwards and upwards my pirate chum :pirate:

Yarrrrrrr ! It be official, desert loot in the bag.
Grab what ye can, we be off to darkest Peru for a marmalade sandwich
